Garbage characters in FM9

Weird! It sounds a bit like the behavior of some of the practical joke 
programs that tend to show up around April Fool's Day. Users secretly 
install them on co-workers' computers to make them behave in mysterious 
ways. The user normally fesess up to the joke after a few minutes of fun, 
and the program is uninstalled. One of the PC magazines (I forget which) ran 
an article within the last month that encouraged even more malicious 
behavior. They didn't just tell how to install a joke program in the Startup 
folder. They had examples that included turning off screen icons and 
replacing the wallpaper with a screen capture that mimics the desktop before 
turning off the icons. So icons would not work. And there were worse 
examples that would require an extremely knowledgeable techie to uncover. I 
wish I could remember which magazine, so that I could say shame on them 
specifically.
